The always-loaded Milwaukee summer of festivals got even more loaded this year as the Locust Street Festival announced its proper return on Sunday, June 11. And to make its resurrection even more officially official, the Riverwest festival favorite announced the local music lineups taking its several live stages. 

Returning to its original full-sized form for the first time since 2019, the Locust Street Festival will take place once again on Locust Street from North Holton Street to North Humboldt Boulevard with food, drink, arts vendors and more all in between – including six venues for live music and performance.
